5.0 out of 5 stars Good book for 2-4 year olds

My three year old son LOVES all Hairy Maclary's and Slinky Malinki books. We read them every night and he can recite them from the memory now. Rimes are easy and stories are fun. We collected all books in this series except one which we could not get even through the book vendor in the Great Britain.

Wonderful story in rhyme, with bright, warm drawings to accompany the story. It's a joy to read aloud. Look for the other books by Lynley Dodd, too: they are delightful!

5.0 out of 5 stars Schnitzel von Krumms best outing (In my daughters unbiased opinion)
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 6, 2020
Verified Purchase
I have to admit I am a fan of Lynley Dodd. All of her books were favourites with both our children when they were younger and made perfect night time stories and then helped with them learning to read through repetition on certain phrases. They are really easy to read with charming simple rolling rhymes which are super easy to make fun for your child. It seems they are no longer in print as I have been trying to buy all of them so my soon to be first grandchild will gain the same benefit that both my daughters did. I believe that if you read to your children from the very first days you will start to instill in them a true love for reading and a considerably more colourful imagination. Basketweave is a story about an old bed that the family want to dispose of but Schnitzel von Krumm is very attached too! My oldest used to get so excited with this book that she would shout the "No not a bit" response where appropriate. This is a great book!

We have read many Hairy Maclary books and I must say, this one about Schnitzel von Krumm is fast becoming a favourite. It is funny, the illustrations are perfect and the children like the repetition of absolutely not (or something along those lines). Another winner from Lynley Dodd. Love it, love it, love it! Most importantly, the children are totally engaged while we read this to them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Schnitzel Von Krum with his very low tum
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 4, 2016
Verified Purchase
I have recently been reading the advertures of Schitzel Von Krum and his very low tum with my young son, who loves Schnitzel and his other books we have also bought Dogs cant climb trees and it is innocent and heart warming children's stories at their very best and seeing Schnitzel cry in this book is heart breaking.

I also recommend other related characters collections such as Hairy Maclary, Scar face Claw and Slinky Malinki which is just fantastic to read
